 more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 3351015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | MJG said:I was wondering about the pull... Not in the way that someone has done anything delibrately but truck pulls are always a bit dodgy. Never the exact same on every run. I think Eddie himself has talked about Truck pull not being a very fair event before. I think Eddie 100% deserved his title but Is tand by what I said. Things came together to give him a better chance than you would usually expect. I always feel a bit very sorry for Shaw. Any comp he does his weaknesses get targeted. Thor and Z in particular get luckier with that. Lets put grip events back into WSM. 4 out of 6 events here are great ones for Shaw. Shaw is traditionally poor at thin handled farmers etc as his bicep tear damaged nerves which affects his grip. | ||

Ed did mention his injury, but it was his crazy fans saying it cost him. Oh and of course the show mentioned it once or twice. Brian wouldn't have won anyway. His plane pull was before deadlift. Anyway hope Thor comes back next year. Injuries happen in the sport. These guys push their bodies to the limit. No matter what I say on here, I respect all athletes. His facebook post after it 2016 aired and newspapers he spoke with do show he said the injury cost him. It's natural to have regrets and questions.. but thor can't be blamed for being the only one. Don't thin it would have changed anything for either of them though. He was 11 points behind last year abd brian eased up on the stones. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1174084142712030&substory_index=0&id=559762394144211 http://m.stokesentinel.co.uk/eddie-hall-believes-injury-cost-h... Wonder whether brian did say something because the others used suits but he assumed it would be suit less like the arnold. He didn't wear a suit last year on max. | ||

Most events are great for Shaw. He's probably the best strongman ever. You'd struggle to have a 6 event contest where 4 weren't great for him. | ||

Where do they get their info from? Fridge carry and light stones? I have sent this to the moderators of the BBC as a matter of urgency: Well done on running the Ed Hall worlds strongest man story. However, no fridges were carried...not since the 1970s! and the stones went a lot heavier than 160k. events were: vikking press Ed won that event Deadlift 1 rep max - Ed won this Squat Ed won that one as well Tyre flip Plane pull Atlas stones up to 200kg I think... Hope this helps | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Licis is one of those competitors where you put him in front of a crowd and his lifts go up 10%. If he gets regular Arnold invites his pressing and weight should go up and he will come a challenge to WSM title. | ||
